I found this great educational video over at We Surround Them Houston. It explains the various forms of government and makes clear why our country is a Republic, not a Democracy as many people erroneously believe.
Democracy is actually a bad thing, as it inevitably degenerates into mob rule. Democracy is nothing but a transitional state between a Republic and an Oligarchy.
Shall we keep our Republic gentlemen, or let Obama and George Soros continue building their Oligarchy?
Well done--suppose any NEA hack wants that played in the classroom? I think not.

Decent overview. Thanks. A small addition to the vid above, if you will:

Cbullit: Yes, it was really well done. Jon Voight narrating if I'm not mistaken. That guy has class...
David: Yes, my friend, you have hit the nail on the head there. I'm sure Santayana would have agreed.
